The entry for this church in Oficiální stránky obce Holohlavy [https://www.holohlavy.cz/obec/holohlavske-budovy/kostel-sv-jana-krtitele/] [accessed 26 September 2023] reports a baptismal font made of pewter in 1552 ["Z vnitřního vybavení kostela stojí za zmínku cínová křtitelnice z roku 1552"]. The font is of a design common in the area, an inverted-bell shape resting on three legs. The cover is round with a tallish finial. [NB: we have been unable to get a good image of, or mored details of this font, but it is likely to be decorated and bear an inscription].
